Pros

“Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore appeals most directly to families seeking an affordable base for exploring the Black Hills. Its family ownership translates to a more personalized experience, enhanced by recreational facilities for all ages and the convenience of no hidden fees. I believe the location is ideal, placing guests within easy reach of Mount Rushmore and other regional attractions, while the Victorian architecture offers a distinctive, historical atmosphere.”

6.6/10

I had a pleasant stay at this pet-friendly hotel, where I was genuinely surprised by the level of service during my visit. The location is fantastic, just a short drive away from Mount Rushmore, and the rooms were spacious, although some aspects like cleanliness and details need attention. The breakfast setup was a bit unique, but the selection was basic. Overall, it's a good value if you're looking for comfort and convenience in the Keystone area.

Rooms

6.0

The loft room I stayed in was spacious and suitable for our family, but the decor felt a bit worn out. The carpet and walls could use some refreshing, and there were details like light bulbs that needed replacing.

Service

7.0

The hotel manager was available and responsive to our needs, though I found the front desk frequently unstaffed during our stay.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located just a couple of miles from Mount Rushmore, making it easy to explore the area. However, other dining options were limited due to the off-season.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast included basic options, mostly muffins and doughnuts, which could definitely be improved to cater to more varied tastes.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities seemed satisfactory but not outstanding; the hotel was in the process of updating mattresses, which indicates they are working on improvements.
